General üElement name - Hydrogen üElement symbol- H üAtomic number- 1 üAtomic mass (not rounded)- 1.00794 amu
Atomic Structure üNumber of protons within the nucleus- 1 üNumber of electrons within the neutral atom- 1 üMost common isotope (in the proper notation)- 1H üNumber of neutrons within the nucleus of the most common isotope-1
Background üScientist(s) who discovered (or made) the element- Robert Boyle produced hydrogen gas as early as 1671 while experimenting with iron and acids. Henry Cavendish first recognized hydrogen as a distinct element in 1766. üYear it was discovered (or made)- üOrigin of the name- From the Greek words hydro and genes, which together mean "water forming." ü2 most common uses- 1) raw fuel that most starts burn to produce energy. 2) Can combine with oxygen to form water
Physical Properties üState of matter at room temperature- Gas üMelting point (in °C)- -259.34°C üBoiling point (in °C)- -252.87°C üDensity- 0.00008988 grams per cubic centimeter üAbundance in earth’s crust- 1.40×103 milligrams per kilogram
Chemical Properties üOther elements that will react with your element- oxygen, Chlorine, Nitrogen, Carbon üCompounds that contain your element- H2O, NH3, CH4, C12H22O11 üShort paragraph (about 5-7 sentences) about an important use of your element or one of its compounds in some detail Hydrogen is composed of a single proton and a single electron, hydrogen is the simplest and most abundant element in the universe. It is estimated that 90% of the visible universe is made up of hydrogen. Hydrogen is the raw fuel that most stars burn to produce energy. The same process is being studied as a possible power source for use on earth. The sun's supply of hydrogen is expected to last another 5 billion years. Huge amounts of hydrogen are combined with nitrogen from the air to produce ammonia. Hydrogen is also added to fats and oils, such as peanut oil, through a process called hydrogenation. Liquid hydrogen when combined with liquid oxygen makes an very good rocket fuel. Hydrogen combines with other elements to form numerous compounds. Some of the common ones are: water (H2O), ammonia (NH3), methane (CH4), table sugar (C12H22O11), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). Hydrogen has three common isotopes.
